Diazepamum

7-chloro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-3H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one (IUPAC); diazepam · Valium, Diazepam, Relanium; "Diazepamum" (homeopathic Latin name)

Modern MM

A sphere of action centred on the central nervous system — sedation, anxiety, sleep, muscle tension and withdrawal states — inferred from diazepam's known GABAergic pharmacology and toxicology. There is no published formal proving; the remedy is used isopathically / under the Law of Similars rather than from proven symptomatology.

Key symptoms

No keynotes from a formal proving exist. Indications are inferred from the drug's documented pharmacological/toxicological action: states of anxiety, nervous tension and restlessness; insomnia; muscle spasm; and the rebound anxiety, restlessness, tremor and insomnia of benzodiazepine withdrawal. These are reasoned similars, not proven symptoms, and must be presented as such.

Worse (aggravation)
